Renowned for its commitment to advancing scientific research and improving human welfare, KUR International has introduced its multifaceted alliance to India, aiming to revolutionize healthcare operations.
KUR International’s proficiency in centralised Clinical Research Administration and Site Management Services is delivered through its subsidiaries Kur Research and Urgent Care Clinical Trials. These arms ensure seamless integration of clinical research, benefiting pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device organisations. By streamlining processes, KUR International enhances the experience for healthcare providers and patients alike, culminating in improved healthcare outcomes. Further bolstering their ability to advance scientific research is the management of a geographically diverse biobank called Vexillum, expediting access to critical biological samples vital for research and development endeavours.

Innovatively addressing preventive care and screening, Kur Diagnostics conducts specialised screening programs that are non-invasive and administered by proficiently trained technicians. These screenings provide valuable insights into an individual’s health risks, enabling physicians to craft personalised care plans aimed at mitigating potential life-threatening issues. Acting as the backbone for all these diverse entities, Atlas Essentials, KUR International’s managed services organization, provides crucial human capital and shared infrastructure across all its enterprises.
